Re: Insomnia to some degree

the best solution to sleepless endless nites is doing something that really interests you . it will get your attention focussed at on thing and when you feel tired enough you can sleep.
the one thing that keeps you wake is your curiosity / anxiety .
help yourself not with pills but with the best possible solution .


Re: Insomnia to some degree

Orpheus good to see you back, hopefully these problems will clear soon as well and you will be fully recovered. Inshallah.

Re: Insomnia to some degree

Try not to drink anything with caffiene in after 4pm

Don’t eat heavy meals before you sleep

Try to do some light excercise in the day to tire you out, or go for a walk

If you do feel hot, have a fan on it’s lowest setting. The sound and breeze of the fan normally gives me a comforting feeling and sends me to sleep.

Have an interesting magazine or book handy under your pillow to read before you sleep, it normally tires my eyes and makes me fall asleep quicker.

Finally to to keep up your daily prayers as every muslim should. It relaxes your mental state and eases any tension.

Sleep in the way of the Sunnah of Rasulallah Saw in a state of wudu, on your right hand side.

Recite some dua’s before you sleep. The sunnah supplication before sleeping are as follows:

Words of remembrance for morning and evening, and

If you wake up or stir during the night have a glass of water handy in case you feel hot. It will cool your temprature and relax you. Open your window a little if you feel tense and allow some fresh air into your room. Also recite:

Laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahul-Waahidul-Qahhaaru, Rabbus-samaawaati wal’ardhi wa maa baynahumal-'Azeezul-Ghaffaaru.

There is none worthy of worship but Allah , the One , the Victorious , Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the All-Mighty, the All-Forgiving.

Reference: This is to be said if you turn over in bed during the night. Al-Hakim graded it authentic and Ath-Thahabi agreed 1/540. Also see An-Nasa’i, ‘Amalul-Yawm wal-Laylah, and Ibn As-Sunni. See also Al-Albani, Sahihul-Jami’ As-Saghir 4/ 213.

If your afraid to go to sleep, feeling lonely or depressed recite this:

'A’oothu bikalimaatil-laahit-taammaati min ghadhabihi wa 'iqaabihi, wa sharri 'ibaadihi, wa min hamazaatish-shayaateeni wa 'an yahdhuroon.

I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from His anger and His punishment, from the evil of His slaves and from the taunts of devils and from their presence.

Reference: Abu Dawud 4/12. See also Al-Albani, Sahih At- Tirmithi 3/171

Re: Insomnia to some degree

Orpheus I read on the other thread that u had major injuries...We are so glad that u r back home.How are the other injuries healing? What really happened I mean how did your car crash ?

Re: Insomnia to some degree

I was returning home and lost control of my car coming round a bend, there was ice on the roads that evening and i think i lost it on some black ice.

I'm feeling better, i am still having headaches due to the concussion and my left arm is in a cast, but they should mend aswell as the brusing i suffered to my rib cage area.

Re: Insomnia to some degree

avoid tablets, ur already on stuff...but if worst comes to worst ask ur GP for some night sedation-zopiclone or temazepam r gud. dont wear 2 many layers-pakis have a misconception that wrapping up is always gud 4 u-not necessarily true all the time.

Re: Insomnia to some degree

Hi again, have you tried sleeping with a fan blowing on you? I think this may help you, when I was on all those fertility medicines I got terrible hot flashes and having the fan blowing on me all nite was really helpful.

Re: Insomnia to some degree

hot flushes were due to the hormonal imbalances-his sleepless nights are probably of different origin…unless…he too is tryin 2 be a mamaof3!!!:bummer:

Re: Insomnia to some degree

lol!! sorry, i didnt mean to imply that!!

He just mention that he gets too hot and overheated to sleep.....

Re: Insomnia to some degree

Hey Orphy, glad to see posting again :)

It sounds like you're not having a problem getting to sleep in the first instance, but getting back to sleep after waking up.

I agree with some of the comments here, I think meditative music would really help to relax your mind. Having water close at hand and a small table fan in close proximity would be useful for tackling the imediate heat.

I get very hot at night and sleep with my window open which helps with the heat and the sound of the breeze and rain really relaxes me too.

Camomile tea is also very good for relaxation. Keep your night clothes unfussy and simple to try and avoid overheating in the first place. If I come up with anything more useful will definitely let you know.

Insha'Allah any discomforts you're feeling will pass shortly and you will feel better very very soon :)

Re: Insomnia to some degree
